Summary
The BeonNAT project aims to increase knowledge about the extraction of various organic products from wood species, trees and shrubs that are currently underutilized. The project evaluates the key aspects in the value chain and includes a selection of the most suitable species for different European countries. BeonNAT is based on the following concepts: mixed cultivation of selected woody species in marginal yield areas using the coppice management method and extraction of a product cascade within a biorefinery concept. The cultivation trials are carried out at different locations: Germany, Romania and Spain. The biorefinery processes are being studied in research laboratories in Portugal, Germany, Italy and Spain. The BeonNAT project focuses on: 1) the need to achieve a higher level of knowledge about mixed cultures geared to the bio-industry and 2) their sustainable management with the aim of producing the suitable raw materials for the production of the targeted bio-products. In BeonNAT 8 products are being developed, including essential oils, extracts, wood paper, chipboard, bioplastics, biochar, activated carbon and absorbents. The entire sustainability of the value chains will be analysed in, including the economic, environmental and social impacts related to the future BeonNAT biorefineries, as well as the impact on biodiversity and key market aspects. In addition, the project has an ambitious strategy for communication, dissemination and exploitation of the results. The consortium consists of 8 Research Technology Organisations, 5 small and medium enterprises, 2 large companies and 1 association.
